Bail Bonds
Author : Damian Sofsian
The process of posting a bail bond involves a contractual undertaking guaranteed by a bail agent and the individual posting bail. In such case, the bail agent provides a guarantee to the court that the defendant will appear in court each and every time the judge requires it. Hence a bail bond is an obligation signed by those who have been accused of a crime to secure their presence at the court when summoned.The bail agent charges a percentage of the bail amount from the defendant for this service. So, one advantage of the bail bond is that this obligation ensures that the accused will lose money if he or she does not appear for the trial. The defendant or someone related to the defendant contacts the bail agent to arrange to post bail, resulting in the release of the defendant. Usually, a relative or a close friend of the defendant will post bail and co-sign. However, the co-signer or the person contacting the agent for the bail bond must guarantee to pay the full amount of bail if the defendant does not appear in court, before the bail bond can be posted.Sometimes the bail agent does not require collateral to post the bail. A person can be bailed out from jail with a signature of a friend or a relative. However, co-signers typically must be employed and must either own or rent a home in the same area for some time. After the agreement is signed, the bail agent posts a bond for the amount of the bail, to guarantee the defendant's return to court.The co-signer holds a lot of responsibility when entering an agreement with the bail agent, in that if the defendant fails to appear, the cosigner is immediately responsible for the full amount of the bail. Also, if the bail agent searches for and then finds the defendant, the cosigner is again responsible for all expenses the bail agent has incurred in the process.In some states, the court allows the release of defendants after they pay ten percent of the bail bond amount directly to the local jail or court. But this is only in certain cases wherein the defendant cannot raise the entire bail amount at one time. However, in other states, defendants can arrange for the whole bail amount through a bail bondsman.But in this case the defendant or the co-signer needs to sign over a collateral. The process is then similar to that of the other bail agents. The collateral is returned to the defendant after the court summons are finished and the case is closed. This indicates that the bail bond is discharged.Bail Bonds provides detailed information about bail bonds, bail bond companies, bail bond license, and more.

Civil Partnerships
Author : Janine Byrne
Civil Partnership Act 2004 The Civil Partnership Act 2004 came into force on the 5 December 2005 providing a long overdue legal recognition of same sex couples' rights. Same sex couples now finally have largely the same legal rights as that of heterosexual married couples. However, there does appear to be 2 areas where the legal rights of civil partners and married couples differ.Dissolution
The grounds for dissolving a civil partnership are the same as those for dissolving a marriage with one exception - adultery is not a ground for dissolution in a civil partnership unlike in marriage cases.Pre-Partnership Agreements
Pre-nuptial agreements have been available for many years but it would seem that only the most wealthily couples who intend to marry avail themselves of this agreement, and it there appears to be little encouragement from legal forums to use them.Conversely, with the introduction of Civil Partnerships, much emphasis has been placed on entering into a Pre-Partnership Agreement.
The Pre-Partnership agreement has been extant for many years now. Previously referred to as 'Cohabitation agreements' it was considered a useful document to have where couples - both same sex and heterosexual - decided to live together. More often than not however, people never knew of the existence of such a document, as is probably the case today.
With the introduction of civil partnership rights, much emphasis has been placed on having such an agreement. The document should be entered into prior to registering the partnership, and is designed to deal with how the couple wish to deal with financial issues in the event that the partnership is dissolved.The Law Society of England and Wales has argued in its literature that whilst Pre-Partnership Agreements - like pre-nuptial agreements - are not legally binding, with the courts usually deciding to split assets 50/50 on divorce pre-partnership agreements ought to be considered as the law will treat civil partnerships in the same manner as divorce.
(Pre-Partnership/Cohabitation Contract and Pre-marital agreements are available to download from the Legal Documents section of the DYW site).Tax & Wills ImplicationsCivil partners will be treated the same as married couples for tax purposes. Thus, all the same inheritance tax exemptions available to married couples will also be available to civil partners. Such exemptions will include the Nil Rate Band allowance (currently £275,000) and the 'spouse' exemption whereby all transfers between spouses are exempt from inheritance tax and will also be the case with civil partners. (For more detailed advice on inheritance tax exemptions see Inheritance Tax).The other implication of entering into a Civil Partnership from a Wills perspective, is that any existing will shall be invalidated upon registering the partnership. The extant Will shall automatically be revoked, and a new Will should be drafted.
If you wish to make a Will in expectation or contemplation of entering into a civil partnership - or marriage for that matter - specific clauses will need to be drafted into the Will to ensure that it remains valid after entering the partnership/marriage.Thankfully the law relating to Civil Partnerships is on a very similar footing to that of marriage, thus matters are not too complicated. As with advice given to married couples, making a Will is important as you should not assume that your spouse/partner will inherit your share, and it may well be that specific clauses will need to be drafted into Wills for civil partners.JsByrne

Punitive Damages
Author : Warren Duff
When someone injures another person, the injured person can choose to file a civil lawsuit, damages rewarded in civil lawsuits are usually compensatory. Compensatory damages are meant to compensate for actual losses endured by the victim.Losses endured by the victim can include:Economic LossesLoss of EarningsMedical ExpensesFuneral ExpensesLoss of Anticipated EarningsNon-Economic LossesPainSufferingLoss of Enjoyment of LifeLoss of CompanionshipHowever, if the defendant intentionally injured the victim or if the defendant was particularly reckless, punitive damages can be awarded to the plaintiff. Punitive damages can be rewarded on top of compensatory damages as a way to punish the defendant.Often times, a defendant may be acquitted of criminal charges, but is found guilty in a civil lawsuit. This was the case with O.J. Simpson. Although he was acquitted of his criminal charges, the families of Goldman and Brown sued him in a civil lawsuit for punitive damages and won.Punitive damages can usually be found in cases involving: Assault
Fraud
Deceit
RecklessnessWhen a court awards punitive damages to the plaintiff, it is meant to discourage the behavior of the defendant and of any other people in the future.In 2003, A Utah jury awarded Curtis Campbell with $1 million in compensatory damages and $145 million in punitive damages in a case against State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. However, the amount of the punitive damages was lessened after State Farm brought forth an appeal, citing $145 million was an unreasonable amount.Since then, the Supreme Court stated that in general, punitive damages that are awarded should be a reasonable ratio to the compensatory damages.The amount of punitive damage awards are now usually a single digit multiple of the compensatory damages, and courts will generally not stand for punitive damages that are more than nine times the amount of the compensatory damages.However, since the State Farm v. Campbell case, many courts have recognized that there are instances where a defendant's conduct is so reprehensible, malicious, or egregious that a higher multiple may be acceptable.At the moment, punitive damages in the State of New York are awarded following the guidelines of the Supreme Court.Please click here for more information on personal injury lawsuits in New York.

Litigation Financing Companies
Author : Jennifer Bailey
A person involved in litigation of any kind, say a malpractice or an accident, is rarely a lawyer. He or she does not have the least idea as to 'how to go about the situation and recover the losses'. To top it all, often, their savings will not suffice in any way to fight the case.Hence, they seek the help of an expert attorney. The hired attorney is one who is an experienced expert in the kind of case the person is involved in. For instance, if it is a case of dental malpractice, the client approaches an attorney specializing in the same field. Once the attorney prepares the case and files, he or she negotiates with a suitable Litigation Financing Company.Litigation Financing Companies are known to offer litigation loans or take care of the expenses of needy clients to fight the case. Though called litigation loans, they are in fact an advance or an investment that is free from monthly payments. The companies do not give loans or pre-settlement advances to just any individual. When the attorney or the individual approaches the company, it first evaluates the case for its case worthiness. Based on its analysis, it fixes up an amount as loan. In return, the company buys a portion of possible settlement charges due to the individual. The company recovers its share from the settlement charges entitled to the individual only after the case is won.Similarly, the company stands to lose if the individual or plaintiff loses the case. The situation is the same, even if the individual gets a very small amount as settlement charges. In short, the company cannot recover its funds if the individual does not get a good recovery or loses the case. As such, the company runs the risk when transferring funds for every litigation case. But the client has to make an initial payment to the company he or she is availing to for Litigation Financing. Since the fee charges are on the higher side, one has to take the guidance from the attorney. Litigation Financing Companies handle a range of cases. While some Litigation Financing Companies give advances for personal injury, auto accidents, ceiling collapse cases, there are others specializing in commercial and patent Litigation Financing.Litigation Financing provides detailed information about litigation financing, commercial litigation financing, litigation cash advances, litigation financing companies and more.

Collecting The Levy
Author : Henry Byers
IRS garnishment refers to the notice issued by the IRS department to withhold all or some part of the money to the court or to the person who has won the lawsuit to claim the money. The IRS garnishment is limited by law according to which only up to 25% of the disposable earning of a particular period can be garnished. Also, the amount by which the disposable earnings exceed thirty times the Federal minimum hourly wage in effect at the time earnings are payable.If someone has a problem regarding the payment of the taxes he can approach the IRS department and seek relaxation in payments of the dues. Mostly IRS garnishment is levied as the last resort. In most of the cases IRS accepts some sort of payment plan if some basic information is provided. This information includes the returns filed till date. This is required to state that although there are dues pending but the exact financial status has been stated to the government.All assets need to be disclosed including all cash, bank accounts, investments, etc. This is to certify that there is not enough cash available to pay to the IRS department as tax. Therefore details of all checking accounts, savings account, money market or brokerage account should be clearly stated. The person should also be not in a position to borrow the amount owed to the IRS department. There should not be enough liquidity in the retirement account as well from which money can be borrowed or liquidated.In case of IRS garnishment the IRS officers do not handle the cases, which are less than $25,000. According the to the IRS garnishment law the person requires to pay the amount which is the difference between the monthly income and expenses required for the month. This amount needs to be submitted to the IRS department for the clearance of tax dues. The IRS has already determined the monthly expenses for any individual. They need to be matched with the person's monthly expense. This is done on the basis of form completed by any individual as stipulated by the IRS department. If the person is a businessman then a financial statement of the business also needs to be attached with the completed form stating the personal financial assessment.Thus after the filing the returns and completing the form, IRS determines the monthly amount payable towards IRS garnishment. But it is to be noted that all along the payment period IRS shall continue to add penalties and interest on the amount outstanding. This eventually leads to larger payout than the actual sum due towards taxes. This is due to the reason that along with the principal amount due the person also keeps on paying the charges levied as interest or penalty.Thus it is better to avoid IRS garnishment so as to keep the government at bay. This is payment conditions are usually not explained by the IRS department. Further, IRS also warns the tax payers to look in to the promoter's claim which states that tax debts can be settled for less through Offer in Compromise program. This program is only beneficial when the tax payer is eligible as per the rules stated in the program.Henry Byers, Retired IRS Manager and IRS Garnishment expert - focusing on Wage Garnishment Law and Garnishment
